Somebody should pass this along to Michele Bachmann

You can send it to Romney and Gingrich, too — though you needn’t bother on my account. I never expected better from them.

And the fact is, if you don’t vote Obama a second term, or if you pretend to disapprove of his policies, it’s because you are all a bunch of backsliding quasi-Klansmen who, given the
